"Good at a discount rate"
The good: Clean room, helpful front desk, Good bed, fitted sheets, good TV channel selection, adequate breakfast (cereal, hard boiled eggs and donuts). The bad: Weak internet, then failed for the last two days there, 1st cleaning day, took towels, left none, 2nd cleaning day, changed towels, dumped trash, nothing else, door lock mechanism failed and […] then started working again. If you can get it at a bargain rate, it is not bad, otherwise.... Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good price for the room we got."
Got the room on expedia for a good price and didn't expect something real nice but it was good for the price. I'd stay again for the price I paid but wouldn't stay and pay full price.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good hotel. Close to Silver Dollar City."
Couldn't ask for much more especially considering the low prices. Definitely recommended.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Cheap but that's it"
The hotel was not clean there was left over alcohol from the last people that stayed there. The pillows where so flat we couldn't sleep and it had the old big box style tv. So will not use againGenuine Expedia guest review
"Not satisfied"
We were very disappointed with Foxborough Resort. When making the reservations the hotel stated they had a microwave and refrigerator in every room - I even requested a refrigerator! But we did not have a microwave or refrigerator. We had stained carpeting, the room was extremely cold and they left us two clean towels and one DIRTY towel. Very little […] hot water the first night but it got better. Although they replenished the towels daily, they did not restock toilet paper, coffee or cups. The work out room was in another building in another parking lot and down a hill. Outdoor pool was open but temp was in the 40's during the day. No hot tub and no indoor pool. Will not stay here again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Pictures can be deceiving"
The pictures made it look much nicer than it actually was. The room was clean but outdated.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice affordable place, if going to be gone a lot"
Beds were a bit hard, but room was ok.... Small tv... If your going to Branson , and don't want to lounge around the hotel, this is a pretty inexpensive place to stay. Location not bad at all. Room is very plain, but for the money not bad....Genuine Expedia guest review
"OK for the price"
/the property looks like it has undergone renovation recently. Our room was probably not completed yet because we could see newer televisions and wall hangings in the empty rooms nearby. The first room we were given was not cleaned from the previous occupants. The desk clerk gave us a new room but no apology, no conversation. All of the staff we encountered […] were early 20s. No one greeted us, tried to carry on a conversation, offered suggestions, etc. Breakfast was cereal and drink in a tiny but cute area. It was ok for the price if you only want to sleep in the room. The area it is in is beautiful, on top of a hill overseeing the mountains.. Probably won't go back. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Was a great bargain. Rooms were good and clean. Beds were pretty hard though.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Ok for price"
Would stay again... It's quite a ways down Shepard of hills expressway but when 76 is busy that's a plus!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Over night"
Worth the moneyGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"First and last stay there"
The room had not been cleaned properly in a long time. There was dust and dirt in the corners and spots on the walls. The beds looked and felt like they were pulled out of the trash dumpster. The whole room needs gutted and remodeled. If it wasn't for all the hotels being booked, we would have gone somewhere else. Not an enjoyable stay!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Stay for the Money"
We had a great time. We requested extra towels & they were waiting in the room. Great place to stay, staff was friendly, room was clean, bed was not new but was good, convenient location, close to everything. We will go backGenuine Hotels.com guest review
It was great only thing wrong the ice machine on the first floor was not working and no washer and dryer as the AD said other than That thank youGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Second worst hotel"
I have stayed at many hotels and this is the second worst I have ever stayed at. We couldn't run our heater at night because it was so dirty. My wife and I froze! I killed a spider in the bathroom and the carpet was filthy. I would definitely like to get my money back. This hotel is one to stay away from!!!!!Genuine Expedia guest review
The room was nice. Very affordable. Close enough to the main strip without all the noise and lights. It looks as though the entire hotel was being thoroughly cleaned during the off-season. The only thing the hotel lacks is an elevator but the stairs are not steep and easy to climb. Overall, the stay was nice.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not Bad...."
My wife and I, for the most part, enjoyd our stay here. The bed was a little hard, but more comfortable than the one we have at home. The room was very clean as was the bathroom. We noted the lobby and grounds were very clean as well. They have an outdoor pool that we didn't have the time to partake in. I felt the front clerk was very friendly and helpful. […] My wife disagreed with me on that. I come from the belief that this isn't a four or five star hotel so one shouldn't expect it to be like one. If you go in with low expectations, it will actually surpass them. It's close to many of the major Branson attractions and that in and of itself makes it worth the stay. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great for the price"
Clean, quiet, fair priceGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"It was ok"
It was a basic room with a charming pool. I wouldn't call it a resort. The breakfast included boiled eggs, yogurt, cereal and donuts...not even continental is it? Staff was very nice. It had an excellent location as it was next to the routes that curcle around town.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Not a pleasant STAY!"
Terrible experience was expecting a nicer hotel. Would never stay at this hotel again.Genuine Expedia guest review
"It's okay"
Average! Room needs upgrade, should start with the TV. Close to attrations. Nice view outside. Did not clean room daily. 24hr front desk.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great no frills hotel"
The hotel could use some updates but we had a clean room everyday and friendly service. They went out of their way to meet our needs. I was traveling with two children under five and this was just what we needed. Great basic accomadations at a great price.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not a super resort but a nice place to stay."
The staff at the front desk were very friendly. We were booked for a 2 bedroom condo with 1 king size bed in one room and 2 queen size beds in the second. We had stopped in early to see what time check in was and they told us they had a condo available but it only had one king bed in each room but had a fold out couch. We chose to go ahead and take […] it so we could get settled in for an early check in. Our kids took turns sleeping on the couch and the king size bed. (We have 2 teenagers, 1boy/1girl who don't like to sleep together). Wish we would have waited for the 2 queen beds because the fold out wasn't so comfortable. But we made it work. The pool was nice but super cold. Breakfast wasn't bad but not much to choose from. Only cake donuts, 2 kinds of cereal, yogurt, hard boiled eggs and some fruit. The orange juice tasted like tang not actual orange juice. We did enjoy the mini golf and the out door picnic area a lot! We grilled out dinner 2 nights! I know a lot of people don't want to cook on vacation but our family loves to be outside and this amenity was great! Like the title says this isn't a resort but a nice place to stay. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Located by pool nice room. No one made our bed first day. Staff was nice and friendly and helpful. Wish the pool would have been heated or would have had an indoor pool also and it would be nice to have a playground for small children.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Cheap hotel right off the red route."
My family and I wanted to stay somewhere cheap that we could just crash at overnight. Nothing too special about it. It was perfect for the price that we paid. If you are looking for something fancy and top notch, then go somewhere else. If you are looking for somewhere that has a decent pool, easy to get to the main strip but away from traffic, and […] will not cost a lot, then this is your place. Will definitely stay here again. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"branson stay"
hotel room was clean. seems like the staff was in such a hurry to clean up breakfast, they put things up at 5 mins too earlyGenuine Expedia guest review
"So, so hotel"
The rooms were ok...nothing special, but not disgusting either. The worst part of our stay was the customer service we received. Our rooms were never actually cleaned the entire time we were there. The towels were replenished each day....beds were never made, coffee not restocked...in one room the hair dryer started shooting sparks when my granddaughter […] used it....one room had NO trash can when we arrived....etc etc.....was never able to use the "free" Wi-Fi. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
we enjoyed our stayedGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Branson Visit"
In a convenient location, off the beaten path and away from all the trafficGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great place to stay with a large family"
When we got to our room we looked around the microwave had not been cleaned and the bathrooms floors had hair on them. The carpet between the floor and tile in the bedrooms had been stapled down and we had to watch where we walked so our feet did not get poked, they need to fix rod to hang shower curtain on it fell down and we had to get to stay up. Now […] what we liked about the hotel. The room was great, I love that there was a washer and dryer, full kitchen and plenty of room for our family of 7. The pool was clean and quiet for the most part. The hotel is located off the strip which I liked but most shows we could get to within 5 minutes. My kids liked the breakfast..almost any kid would like donuts every morning. The exercise room was very nice also. The beds were very comfy, air worked well. Also liked that one of the rooms had a DVD player and there was a TV in each room. Overall besides the few complaints that I had i really liked this hotel. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"nice hotel..enjoyed the setting"
had a great time . convenient location.close to area attractions without being burdened to all the trafficGenuine Expedia guest review
"nice hotel"
The tv was not working well at all. the picture kept jumping. one day we did not receive any fresh towels at all. The breakfast was not good. It needed fresh fruit or toast and bagels to go along with the rest.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nice looking hotel"
No towels for the pool, no extra towels in the room, ash trays surround the pool seating area many full, alcohol apparently allowed in pool area. Breakfast was weak, poor selection. Our room did not have a hair dryer.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Quite but kinda out of the way"
Was kinda shocked on how far away it was from the strip. Was told it was 2 miles to all the shows an was more like 5. When we went in to the room it kinda smelled like it had not been used for a while. We had a 2 queen bed room and one of the beds was broke. Pretty clean but a really old tv.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very disappointed"
Our room was filthy. The bathtub had a huge dirt ring and hair in it. The toilet was 'stained' on the outside where it had not been cleaned. The coffee machine was slimey on the inside from not being cleaned. There were holes in the sheets and bed spread. There was a nasty smell in the room that wouldn't go away even after we went and bought air freshener. […] Our room key quit working 2 different times. They put us on the 2nd floor even though there were rooms on the first floor available. When we called the front desk to ask for extra towels, we waited for 45 minutes and had to call to ask again. After another half an hour we finally went to the front desk to get them ourselves. The internet was very weak. The complimentary breakfast was a joke. The tv reception was terrible. Also, it is advertised as close to the strip and it was no where near it. Awful experience. Definitely wouldn't recommend to anyone else and will never go back. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"OK place for the price."
The beds are hard as rocks making for a miserable night's sleep. Breakfast was ok, just cereal, biscuits & gravy, yogurt, hard-boiled eggs, donuts and coffee, but sufficient. The map and directions to this motel on your website are wrong. We had to ask someone to find where it was.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Amazing Value!"
The rooms were very comfortable and the view was spectacular. The most impressing part of our stay was the staff...everyone was so super friendly! Amazing value!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Try somewhere else"
Room is ok for the price. Sheets not changed. Balnket is not supplied in cold Nov. Heating is available but noisy. Sure never back again.Genuine Expedia guest review
Very basic. If you are not looking for any frills and few $$ this is your place.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Weekend Away from the Farm"
The rooms were clean, but they could use some renovating in the bathrooms. The staff were kind and helpful, but the breakfast was not what I expected. I prefer to have cereal that is not stale and real orange juice. I guess for the price, I cannot complain.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"close to shopping"
I had a two room condo. The king size bed was not comfortable ( too hard) or the pillows (too flat). And had tv hook ups and no tv. Had washer and drye hook ups but no washer or dryer.Tv in 2nd room was too little to see.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Be willing to ask."
Loved the suite. Hated having to ask to use the amenities.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Very Disappointed in this hotel!"
Do not plan to stay there again. Never enough towels, which were small. Had to go to front desk to ask for towels twice. The bed sheets looked like they had stained body fluids. Requested another sheet set. Was given a queen size, but the bed was king size. Second trip to front desk, received a king size sheet set which I put onto bed myself. Large […] chair had stains on it. The bathroom fan made a noise. The housekeeping staff said they would report it, but it was not fixed before we left. Bathtub faucet was difficult to adjust for warm water. Either too hot or too cold. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"not impressed at all"
We've stayed at this hotel a couple of years ago. That is why we choose to come back. This time the front desk was a little less than professional. Housekeeping looked like anyone on the street. We had an incident in our room, which was taken care of, but the rest of the room was not made ready. No coffee maker, no hair dryer. The continental breakfast […] lasts until 10:00. If you arrive 9:15-9:30 there is not anything stocked or fresh. I felt as though the hotel had a change in ownership or management, from my first experience to now. I do not believe we will return. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Not impressed"
The dishes in the cabinet had spaghetti sauce on them. We had to wash them before we could eat. One of the cookpots was missing. No sheets to fit the fold out couch. We stayed in the two bedroom condo and the bathrooms are in the bedrooms. This would work if you only had a max of four people but we have a large family so you constantly had people coming […] in your room in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. No privacy. Housekeeping tried to come in when we were in the room in the afternoon even though they had already cleaned that morning. Overall we weren't impressed. The pictures on the Internet were much nicer than the real thing. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
Breakfast was a joke and we payed for two rooms but when we checked in they were all booked so had to share a room .Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"The Lights are out!!"
Even though this place was called a resort it did not live up to what a resort normally provides. Light bulbs were burnt out and the hotel did not have any spare bulbs anywhere on the property. There were no snacks machines on the property. There was only one ice machine and the hotel did not provide ice buckets. The juice machine at the free breakfast […] bar was out of order. The 2 bedroom suite only had one TV in the living room, the bedrooms did not have TV's. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Just right for our needs."
Everything we needed was nearby. Traffic flow was very simple.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Very disappointed with resort."
Carpet in room was filthy. Way too many flies in room. People at desk were helpful but didn't seem to understand expedia policy. If place was cleaned up and rid of flies wouldn't be a bad place to stay. Price was ok.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Unproffesional staff"
Staff seems short of help or maybe doesn't care. There is a second building behind the main and if your room is located there it is inconvenient for breakfast or use of the pool to walk up the hill to get there.Genuine Expedia guest review

A 20" skirt is used when the mattress is at its highest setting and the child is newborn. As the child grows and you start to lower the mattress, the 20" skirt becomes too long and the 14" skirt is used. Some choose to purchase both the 20" and 14" skirt, but others decide to purchase only the 14" skirt and deal with a little shortness in the beginning.

In November 2001, Erin Zammett Ruddy, now 29, was diagnosed with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), a cancer that until recently proved fatal for most patients. Ever since, she's chronicled her story in these pages, including the shocking news of her older sister Melissa's diagnosis of Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2003. Now both are in remission—but Erin's got a lot on her mind.
I can still picture the moment so clearly: I was sitting in Dr. Lutsky's office, my heart pounding, choking back tears as he relayed the results of my routine blood test: cancer. That was five years ago, but it feels like yesterday—as Melissa has joked to me, "Time flies when you're having fun!" I didn't do anything special to commemorate the actual day, but I've been thinking a lot about this milestone. I feel lucky to be in remission, although I'm not considered cured since I'm still being treated. And I'm OK with that…swallowing a few pills each day is a small price to pay for living a normal life.
Still, those of you who've read my past few columns (or my blog) know that I'm focused on having a baby and that I'll temporarily need to go off Gleevec to do so. I'm beyond excited about the possibility of starting a family, but all the looking forward has also made me want to look back. Despite the low points I've hit—and even with the fears I still have—cancer has taught me lessons that otherwise might have taken a lifetime to comprehend, and for that I am grateful. Thanks to cancer, I now know that:
You can't beat yourself up over stuff you can't control
When I was diagnosed at 23, I couldn't possibly understand what I'd done to deserve cancer. I actually thought, was God mad that I had devolved into a Christmas/Easter churchgoer? Was it all the X-rays I'd had at the dentist's over the years? The nachos and Diet Coke diet of sophomore year? I eventually realized, with the help of my doctors, that getting cancer wasn't my fault; it was just bad luck. I'm not saying I never felt sorry for myself, but once you accept that you've been dealt a bad hand, whatever that may be, you can focus on playing it the best way you can.
Obsessing about your body is a giant waste of time
B.C. (before cancer) I never missed a morning in the gym, rarely ate pasta, bagels or egg-and-cheese sandwiches (my faves), and glared at every roll and ripple in the mirror. Here's how crazy I was: I had a Glamour photographer with me at my first cancer appointment (to take pictures of me for my column), and I let him document everything—the tears in the waiting room, the somber talk with the doctor. But when I had to step on the scale, I asked the photographer to wait outside. That's what I couldn't handle—12 million readers knowing what I weighed. It took a serious dose of life-is-short reality to start living a little more. So here's a wake-up call from me to you: indulge. Quit worrying about the jiggle. Get out there and start carpe-ing the diem! You shouldn't need a life-threatening event to do this stuff.

What are some of Rocks "Best Opening Lines?"
by Dan Mitchell
posted Nov 11 2009 6:49PM
When I first started buying albums back in the early 70's, I immediately gravitated to the "words"  in the music. I would sit down with the Liner Notes and read the lyrics as I experienced for the first time each new song. So the following songs I found to be particularly interesting from the very first line. "The List" tonight was some of the Best Opening Lines in music!
The Ramones
-Blitzkrieg Bop-"Hey Ho, Let's Go"-The words that started Punk Rock
Joe Jackson
-Is She Really Going Out With Him-"Pretty Women Out Walking With Gorillas Down My Street"-It's just funny
-Break on Through-"You know the day destroys the night, night divides the day"-This song captures the essence of Jim Morrison's mystique and sets the stage well for his tumultuous ride through Rock and Roll
Jimi Hendrix
-All Along the Watchtower-"There must be some kind of way out of here, said the Joker to the thief"-Dylan wrote them but even he says Hendrix owned them
Rolling Stones
-Jumping Jack Flash-"I was born in a cross fire hurricane"-Tough Imagery, couldn't wait to hear and read what was next
Warren Zevon
-Werewolves of London-"I saw a Werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand"-Jesse Ventura had this song played at his innauguration as Governor of Minnesota. There must be a hidden message!
Bruce Springsteen
-Thunder Road-The screen door slams, Mary's Dress Waves"-All the lust of teenage years perfectly communicated in one line That's it...that's "The List." Tomorrow night tune in to win tickets for the Elton John/Billy Joel concert November 22nd at Pepsi Center.

What are some of Rocks "Best Opening Lines?"
Please Enter Your Comments Below
I think Tom Petty's "Yer So Bad" belongs in this list. I crack up every time I hear the opening line saying his sister is a gold digger and a swinger.
Mike Maine (ex hubby of Nora Maine)
Your idea to do this blog is certainly a great one! As a listener for many years, it has always been great to hear your insights and your song choices. However, you may have out-done yourself with this blog! Very creative! A person communicates best, when they enable others to get involved in the subject matter being discussed, and then add their own creative responses (if only in the other person's mind, or as discussed between good friends). This blog does that. It promotes thought, it involves us in the music, and it even helps us appreciate this art form more in the future. Thank you, as always. Mike

I also agree with Mike and luvs2read - it is a sure sign that downtown CR is bouncing back. its the spirit that counts!
says ... on Wednesday, Dec 2 at 3:27 PM
Thumbs up to Mike. I totally agree with you. At least some people still have some Christmas spirit left, despite what the flood left behind. Christmas isn't about the decorating.
says ... on Wednesday, Dec 2 at 12:16 PM
You, Great, and MRX, are morons. It's people like you that ruin CR. What have YOU done to improve the city? Putting xmas lights up shows the town still has a little joy left in it. It makes visitors feel welcome when they drive through. You're idiots
says ... on Wednesday, Dec 2 at 10:11 AM
Good to see the city still has their priorities in order. The city is literally falling apart, but they had the time and money to hang christmas decorations.

My mother used to correct me all the time when I was younger about "bringing" a toy to a friend's house versus "taking" it. Which is correct, and why?
Your mother is right.
It boils down to knowing the definitions of the words. The definition of bring from dictionary.com is:
Bringing with involves coming to.
Taking with involves going away from.
When you were talking to your mother, your were going away from her. That is why it was correct to say that you were taking something with you.
If your were talking with your friend over the phone, it would be correct to use bringing, because you were going toward him.
Bringing or taking is relative to the (future, present, or past) presence or absence of a person at the destination to which something shall be, is, or has been brought or taken. This person is not the bringer/taker.
It could be a person to whom the bringer/taker tells what bringing or taking he/she shall do, is doing, or did.
It could also be a person who tells to a third person what bringing or taking the bringer/taker shall do, is doing, or has done.
If the person shall be, is, or was present at the destination while the bringer/taker shall be, is, or was on his/her way, bring is the appropriate word.
If the person shall be, is, or was absent from the destination while the bringer/taker shall be, is, or was on his/her way, take is the appropriate word
One possible answer is that you "bring" things to the place you are now, and "take" things to the place to which you're going.
So you "take" the toy to your friend's house, but once you're there you can be said to have "brought" the toy along with you. It's pretty subtle though, I don't think it's an especially crucial difference!
ETA: I've just thought of a good example. Suppose you are in a room with your toy. Your mother could tell you "take it over there!" and then "bring it back over here!"... but the other way round would sound pretty odd.
It's all a matter of perspective. It boils down to what's in the speaker's head (i.e., his perspective). For example, if my focus is on myself, I might say "I'll bring the beer with me." However, if our focus is on the party and its location, I might say, "Are you going to take beer?" I bring something along with me, but I take something to the destination.
This is simply a matter of direction. You would bring towards but take away.
In english the original meaning has been lost due to users bad use, so know it doesnt "sound" incorrect to say so, eventhough it is.
But if you take spanish as a example you will see that the difference between taking and bringing is crutial and cant be exchanged.
The bringing the beer to the party sentence is an excellent example but unfortunately it is used incorrectly by so many. All you have to consider is the perspective of the conveyor of the beer and the perspective of where they are moving it to. Consider the following sentences:
Let's go to the party and take some beer.
Where is the perspective of the speaker (Where they are at now? It doesn't matter where as long as they are not at the party.) Where is the beer being moved to? (To the party) Given these conditions the correct form is take.
The same people are now at the party. Great you brought the beer! Perspective (At the point of transference) It's a simple thing really but many people mess it up. Two people are packing for a trip. One asks the other: Are you bringing toothpaste? This is incorrect. Their perpective is at their house where they are packing and they will be transferring the toothpaste to their point of destination. The correct way to say it is: Are you taking tootpaste? When they get there they could then ask: Did you bring toothpaste?

It's time to announce the winners of the TN.com Mother Knows Best Contest! Sure, it's been a few days (okay, okay, more than a few, and we're really sorry), but we had to confirm our winners before announcing! So, without further ado...
The entire TN team would like to congratulate Meghan for placing the winning entry in the TN.com Mother Knows Best contest. We loved the advice she shared with us, given to her by her wonderful mother! Here's what Meghan wrote:

Happy Mother's Day!

As with anything Google creates, their commercials tend to hit you right in the feelings. They've had "Dear Sophie," where parents chronicle their child's life through Google videos, documents, and calendars; "Dog," where a family finds a stray dog and adopts him; "Parisian Love," where two people fall in love in Paris; "Google Chrome: Jess Time," which tells the story of a father/daughter who recently lost their wife/mother; and "Brother and Sister," which follows a sibling rivalry-turned-friendship. So it's hardly surprising that they're latest commercial focuses on how wonderful moms are, just in time for Mother's Day.
What do you think? And don't forget: tomorrow is Mother's Day, so do something nice for the wonderful women in your life!

Mothers Day is now less than a week away, and many of us (yes us, I'm including myself), are still trying to figure out what gift to get for mom on her special day. There is no perfect answer, because everyone is different, but here are some ideas that may help you figure out what you want to get:
Flowers - Getting your mom some flowers is a must. Most moms love flowers, but if all you are planning on getting is flowers, you may want to keep thinking. Flowers are good; flowers plus something else is great.
Candy - There are tons of options for the mom with a sweet tooth. Things like chocolate or gummy bears are always welcome, but if you want to step-up your game try sending her a candy-gram. That would help make a simple gift like candy become awesome.
Jewelry - I know my mom is a sucker for jewelry, as many are. There are so many different options, but if you find the perfect one for your mom she will be bragging about it all year.

Curtis and Lucero Law Firm
Lisa K. Curtis, Esq.
For over 25 years Lisa K. Curtis, Esq. has worked to help people and their families hurt or killed because of the wrongful conduct of others. The last 18 years she has been an attorney representing only victims in personal injury cases.
Founding Partner
Lisa graduated from the University of New Mexico School of Law in 1993, where she was awarded the Tort Scholar Award for her graduating class. After law school she immediately began civil trial practice. Her practice has narrowed over the last decade to prosecuting primarily medical malpractice cases for patients or their families hurt by bad medical care. She has handled and tried cases for medical malpractice, directly against insurance companies for bad faith insurance practices, automobile and trucking crashes, products liability cases, Fair Labor Standards Act violations and violent torts, including sexual abuse of children in both Federal and State Court and through the appellate courts. Her focus remains to find justice for patients and their families suffering damage because of bad medical practice.
Lisa has been elected as President of the New Mexico Trial Lawyer's Association 2011-2012. She has been a Board Member for NMTLA for over a decade and has contributed articles to the Trial Lawyer's Journal, assisted in the creation of the New Mexico and Federal Evidence Handbook, lectured at various seminars for most of her career, as well as serving as an Adjunct Professor for the UNM Law School Advanced Evidence and Trial Practice Class. She is a member of the American Association for Justice, the National Trial Lawyers Association and the Trial Lawyers for Public Justice.
Lisa had the privilege of representing the Cardon family at trial against a doctor found by the jury to recklessly have caused the death of their much beloved mother. The jury assessed a Verdict of over $6 Million against the doctor. The New Mexico Medical Board later restricted that doctor's license because of the jury's Verdict, so that similar harm could not happen to another family. Likewise, other bad doctors, like the surgeon who operated while an actively drinking alcoholic, or the powerful doctor that sexually abused and malpracticed on their patient, and others who have committed gross negligence have had their licenses surrendered or restricted as a result of cases Lisa has lead.
In Spencer v. Health Force she created case law protecting the vulnerable disabled population from harm and death at the hands of their home health care worker. In other appellate cases she solidified rights of people against irresponsible insurance companies in both the Supreme Court and the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Sloan v. State Farm; protected the rights of children in the settlement of claims through our state appellate court, and is currently challenging the jury's right to decide cases against the government under our Constitution.
Lisa was selected for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America, a Super Lawyer for New Mexico in Medical Malpractice, and a Top 100 Trial Lawyer for New Mexico by The American Trial Lawyers Association. She was appointed by the Supreme Court and currently serves on the New Mexico Supreme Court Civil Rules Committee.
Lisa was known as Lisa K. Vigil for the vast majority of her career until she married a year ago and changed her name, with the blessing of her four children, to Lisa K. Curtis, which also changed the name of her Foundation to the LK Curtis Children's Foundation which seeks out programs to protect and enhance the education and lives of children in New Mexico.

She has done extensive work in pre-suit, litigation, trial and appellate practice in most of the Courts in New Mexico and the Federal Court system.

The thriller "The Expatriate" starring Aaron Eckhart and Olga Kurylenko has now found a home, and it's a promising little movie. Based on a script by Arash Amel, with Philipp Stölzl directing, Eckhart plays a former agent who moves to Belgium, trying to make a fresh go of things as the relationship with his 15-year-old daughter (Liana Libreto) has crumbled. Working for a multinational corporation as a security head, he arrives to work one day to find that the corporation doesn't actually exist and everyone he works with has vanished. He discovers his assistant is actually a trained operative trying to kill him. On the run with his daughter, the experience forces the two to trust and work with one another. Kurylenko will play his former CIA partner and lover trying to track him down.
Yes, it's described as a mix between 'Bourne' and "Taken" but we're hoping that the usually rock solid Eckhart elevates the material a bit and this isn't just a lazy riff on that genre. We've dug up some new images from the film of Eckhart doing his rugged thing and you can look at one more that dropped (rather prematurely) last summer over here. "The Expatriate" will get both a VOD and theatrical release, with a fall 2012 date being eyed. [Variety/Kinopoisk]

By John A. Byrne, contributor
(poetsandquants.com) -- Executive MBA programs can be pretty costly. The University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School program in San Francisco sits at the very top of the luxury brands, with a breath-taking price tag of $172,200. Most of the highly ranked executive versions of the MBA are all well above six figures.
Are there any reasonably priced executive MBA experiences out there?
You bet. We found nearly 50 business schools in the U.S. that offer executive MBAs for less than $50,000 in total tuition. They may not have the cachet of a Columbia Business School, Chicago Booth or Northwestern Kellogg, but then many of these programs cost only a third or less than the big brand exec MBAs. You'll take similar courses in all the business basics for a fraction of the cost.
Imagine earning an MBA for a flat $10,000. It's possible at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, in a 24-month program with a class size of 50 students with an average work experience of nine years.
The catch? It's a defense-focused degree available only to officers and senior civilians in the Navy.
So the least expensive executive MBA in the world is a bit of an anomaly. But then there is Ohio University's program in Athens, Ohio, at a mere $29,000 in total tuition -- just one-sixth the cost of Wharton's San Francisco program.
Or want something even more reasonable? Try Benedictine College's $22,200 program, a fast track, 12-month experience in Atchison, Kansas.
How can these schools offer executive MBA programs at such low costs? More

With the playoffs three short weeks away let's have some fun and predict the 2013 NFL award winners. While the season is still in the balance for plenty of teams, let's be bold and take an educated guess. The final two weeks may sway some votes, but we have a good idea of how things will pan out. One thing is for certain, the NFL definitely didn't disappoint this season—the final two weeks along with the playoffs will be as exciting as ever.
Keep these players in mind when the awards are doled out at the end of the season.
Coach of the Year
This is a tight race, but there's clearly one winner.
There were eight head coaching changes heading into this season, and it can be easily argued that every new coach met or exceeded their expectations. Last year the following eight teams won a combined 41 games—headed into Week 16 this year these teams have a combined 56 wins.
The Arizona Cardinals, Chicago Bears, Philadelphia Eagles, Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns, Jacksonville Jaguars, Kansas City Chiefs and San Diego Chargers all got new head coaches in 2013.
Hats off to all the men in charge, but the award goes to Andy Reid in Kansas City. The Chiefs were a dark horse Super Bowl team in 2012 before the won only two games and earned the No. 1 pick in the draft. This year Reid has tapped into their talent and the Chiefs currently have 11 wins. They may not win their division but a playoff appearance in a given. The Chiefs are explosive and a blast to watch.
Defensive Player of the Year
Defensive studs are often put on the back burner because they don't score touchdowns. Not here, the men in the trenches get the acknowledgement they deserve.
While it's difficult to pinpoint who is precisely the best defensive player, it's not hard to find an answer. Many men are worthy of the award, but the Indianapolis Colts defensive end Robert Mathis takes the prize. His 16.5 sacks currently lead the league, and the Colts are once again going to make the playoffs.
What's most remarkable about Mathis is his age—at 32 Mathis is an "old man" amongst the league's new hybrid athletes on the defensive side of the ball. Still, Mathis is the best at his craft and a great leader on a rather young Colts defense. Cheers to you, Mr. Mathis.
Breakout Player of the Year
This award goes to the guy who doesn't have a chance at 2013 NFL MVP, but his breakout season may earn him the grand award in the near future.
The argument can be made for both of these players but in the end only one can win. Both of these guys are receivers who have made tremendous strides toward stardom this season. The deciding factor ultimately comes down to team wins.
Josh Gordon of the Cleveland Browns currently leads the league is receiving yards with 1,467 and also has nine touchdowns. He has quickly become one of the most dangerous men in the game. If the Browns ever find a quarterback and running game Gordon may make a run a 2,000 yards in a single season. Right now, his team only has four wins. He's 22 years old and has all the talent in the world. He's had a troubled past, but should he leave his problems behind him the sky is the limit.
In the end, the 2013 Breakout Player of the Year goes to Alshon Jeffery of the Chicago Bears. The Bears currently lead the NFC North and control their own fate in terms of a playoff berth.
Jeffery is currently seventh in the league in receiving yards with 1,265. He has seven touchdowns and 80 catches. He's the perfect complement to teammate Brandon Marshall and has hands like magnets. Jeffery is only 23 years old and appears to be a Windy City staple for the next decade. Because of Jeffery the Bears are multi-dimensional and have a chance at a deep Super Bowl run. All he does is make highlight reels.
Rookie of the Year
Let's be honest—today's NFL is not made for rookies. There's a steep learning curve that takes many highly touted prospects and puts them in their place—the bench. Last year may have been an exception due to the likes of Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III, and Russell Wilson but reality has struck once again in 2013.
To be a standout rookie in the NFL you have to be something special. Right now, only three guys come to mind the rookie debate pops up. Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Mike Glennon deserves mention—the Bucs were terrible before he earned the starting job. Being a rookie quarterback isn't easy, especially when you don't start the season as the No. 1. The Bucs started 0-8 but have since won 4-of-6. For that they have hope for the future. Give the NC State alum a full offseason as the main man, and positive results will come.
Zac Stacy of the St. Louis Rams has been a bright spot in an up-and-down season for the franchise. The team was searching for a running back to win the job for weeks and found one in Stacy. The rookie from Vanderbilt has 854 yards on 202 carries and six touchdowns. He's a real bruiser and looks like he's made a name for himself in the NFL. Considering he only had one carry before October, Stacy has been a welcomed surprise. Because of him, the Rams will be a sleeper in 2014. He's a real workhorse.
Look no further than Eddie Lacy of the Green Bay Packers for NFL Rookie of the Year. The rookie out of Alabama looks like this generation's Marshawn Lynch of the Seattle Seahawks. Lacy has 248 carries for 1,028 yards and eight touchdowns. Right now the Green Bay Packers control their own destiny and when quarterback Aaron Rodgers returns from injury they'll become the most feared offense in the NFC. Lacy makes them dangerous, the kid is a juggernaut.
So, who's the NFL's most valuable player this season? Let's keep this short and sweet for there will be much debate to come.
Nick Foles deserves a mention for his work turning around the once underachieving Philadelphia Eagles.
Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees are always in the conversation as they should be. Manning will end up breaking the all-time touchdown record in a season of 50 set by Mr. Brady, he currently has 47 but is he the hands down MVP? No.
Outside the quarterback position, New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham is the most dangerous player in the game. He's can't be guarded—his physical stature is not really fair to his opponents—but even he missed the top spot.
Heck, even Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker deserves a vote—all that guy does is split the uprights.
This year's NFL MVP is Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson.
Correct, Wilson only has 3,077 passing yards, which ranks him No. 17 in the league. But it's not his arm that is most valuable, it's his mentality. He's thrown 24 touchdowns, eight interceptions, completed 64.7 percent of his throws and has run for 508 yards on 89 rushes.
He doesn't make many mistakes and only runs when it's the right choice. His team is currently 12-2 and lethal at home. Right now the Seahawks seem a lock for the Super Bowl.
He's special.
So special that the Texas Rangers drafted him in the recent Rule 5 MLB draft—he hasn't played baseball in some time yet everybody wants a piece of Russell Wilson. He can seemingly do no wrong.
He's got a million dollar smile and is priceless on the field. Wilson for MVP—no doubt.

About Other Lives
Other Lives back in the studio (Updated April 10, 2013)
Sometimes, brand new material serves to be nothing more than a stopgap for a band once again looking to get its creative juices flowing. And that certainly seems to be the case for Other Lives, whose "Mind the Gap" EP was released back on October 22, 2012.
The aforementioned record is buoyed by one particular track helped along by Thom Yorke's Atoms for Peace project, which remixed the title track to Other Lives' 2011 LP "Tamer Animals." Along with that cut, songs like "Take Us Alive" also appear too, along with previously unreleased cuts "Dead Can" and "Dust Bowl."
The EP was put together in the midst of a busy schedule that saw Other Lives touring with Radiohead, and later headlining their own tour in 2012. The grand finale took place in Chicago's Lincoln Hall on December 8, and three days later the band had made it home to Oklahoma and eventually relocated to Oregon.
As far as critics go, they're pretty hard to find where this band is concerned. The Guardian hailed them for a 'spectacularly luscious and vivid sound.' A review on Music Vice summed up a live show in one word – remarkable. And the LA Music Blog marveled at the seamless integration of non-traditional instruments added to the performance.
Other Lives is currently taking a break from the road to work on a full-length album. They've talked in the past about taking the time to step back and dissect what they've already done, while spending the appropriate amount of time with new material. And there's no doubt that whatever the band comes up with next, the fans will definitely be along for the ride.
About Other Lives
It wasn't the stage, but the screen that helped to introduce the world to the band known as Other Lives. The lead single off its self-titled debut album, 'Black Tables,' was featured on the 16th episode of season three, 'Things Fall Apart' of the ABC television show Ugly Betty. It was also played on the first episode of season five, 'In the Light' of USA Network's Covert Affairs, on 'Dream a Little Dream of Me, Part 1' of ABC's Grey's Anatomy, and on the episode 'Every Little Picture Tells a Story,' of the WB's One Tree Hill.
If there's a better way to market your music to the masses, don't tell that to Jesse Tabish, Jenny Hsu, Jon Mooney, Colby Owens and Josh Onstott. The band members have come a long way from their native Stillwater, Oklahoma to share the sounds of rustic rock. The TV exposure finally let them leave behind their normal gathering place ? the Bohemian Lounge on Main Street ? and dip a toe into the world of touring.
With success came more music, as the band finished work on its sophomore album, 'Tamer Animals' in February 2011. It was released on May 10, 2011 in the United States and three months later in Europe. 'For 12' became its lead single, and Thom Yorke, of Radiohead, recorded and released a remix of the album's title track.
Other Lives opened for Radiohead on a leg of their 2012 North American tour in February and March 2012, and also played the 2012 Coachella Festival in Indio, California. They continued to tour Europe, and returned to the US in the fall.

For 1st pic only
she got pointed chicks !! Thats definitely not anybodys style.
Rest are awesome !!
u can find more in deviantart
I want to know if one of u guys think of my art style and colouring style.
I'm more influence to Noizi Itou and Suzuhito Yasuda's work an I'm trying my best to copy a bit of them but mixed style.
So please critic my art.
For 1st pic only
she got pointed chicks !! Thats definitely not anybodys style.
Rest are awesome !!
As Trilo said before the first one has pointy cheeks. The 3rd's arms look a bit on the thin side. Other than that, you're doing great work, keep it up, bro.
Not bad. I think most of the issues I had with the first picture you seem to have fixed in your later work so I'm going to pass on that one. Second picture is great, third picture is nice too though I think her left arm (our right) seems a little floppy, like it's just a sleeve and no bones or muscles under there, and the hands could really use some focus. I know this is unfinished though so you could just not have gotten around to them. What do I know?
As for the fourth drawing the whole pose feels really awkward, I'm having a hard time seeing where one part ends and another begins, and I can't tell if that's one hand on the sword with an interesting hilt pattern or if it's two hands on the sword and one is just super small. His right (our left) leg really needs to be brought down. In this pose even if he is moving fast suddenly bringing his knee up to chest level is going to be difficult if even possible. Even though he's got that leg at what I'm guessing is a 90+ degree angle it's still almost as long as the other leg which is straight @.@ Watch out for that.
You seem to be improving at a really fast rate :3 Just keep doing whatever it is you do to get better.
"Join Luthor in Ultraman's fortress and leave Superwoman to me and my mustache."
. i like how you just let your imagination flow without worrying abt anything going wrong..which helps you avoid stiff poses.. you can always correct any flaws later.. keep up the good work :]
ID say MOAR BODY/ANATOMY PRACTICE! Your faces are pretty good, BUT your body's could use a practice or two...i dont wanna sound rude (but i think i can't stop it) your proportions are way off.... for instance the leg on the little dude in the third pic... the shin of the left leg is almost asl long as the right leg. But as AI said you've got some nice realistic poses that aren't stiff. so just work hard and practice with a sketch or two every day and you should start getting a lot better
like everyone has said, your ideas are great. But I can tell from your lines you need to slow down and take some time to flesh out your drawings. Even if it is just a sketch, you still want people to know what's what in the picture, and that is something that is very hard to do when looking at your drawings. lets break it down: on the first pic, all the lines denotes a lot of action but I cant exactly tell whats going on. I'm assuming hes holding a cell phone or something and there's energy spiraling from it, but the hands and phone are so small I cant really tell.
The second picture I really like. the main problem with it is the head position and size, and again the hands are very small if not non-existent.
In the third pic,I like the idea but...the proportions are pretty off. It appears that you went for one perspective for the waist up and a totally different perspective for the waist down. in all your pictures you tend to draw the feet large, but these are WAY too big for the body's proportions for me to chalk it up to style.
all in all what I think you need to focus on is:
-Slow down your drawing process
-Make sure your lines connect with each other
-Work on hands

Deschutes County Sheriff's deputies cited a 25-year-old Bend man on drunken driving charges after his pickup rolled over Monday night near La Pine and he was injured.
Deejay Leroy was driving east on La Pine State Recreation Road, about one-quarter mile west of Huntington Road, around 6:30 p.m., according to a news release. He drove a 1999 Dodge truck off the road on the south shoulder, over-corrected and then drove off the north side, causing the truck to roll over. It came to rest on its passenger side about 30 yards north of the road.
Leroy was treated for non-life-threatening injuries at St. Charles Bend and released, said Sgt. Troy Gotchy of the Sheriff's Office. Lt. Kevin Dizney said Leroy was cited for driving under the influence of intoxicants and reckless driving.

MP calls for urgent investment in overloaded A34 (From Herald Series)

MP calls for urgent investment in overloaded A34
6:30am Wednesday 11th December 2013 in News
"Urgent" investment in the A34 was yesterday called for in Parliament by an Oxford MP.
Oxford West and Abingdon MP Nicola Blackwood put the question of improvements to the road through the county to Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander, pictured, in the House of Commons.
But the MP was unhappy with the response.
In the Commons yesterday, she asked: "Does he agree with me that investing in strategic roads like the A34 in my constituency can be key to unlocking vital growth and inward investment in priority sectors and will he investigate the economic case for urgent investment in the A34?"
Mr Alexander said he agreed and said the Government had invested in a project to improve links with the A34 near Newbury and the M4 and work will start in March.
He replied to Miss Blackwood: "I am sure she will agree it will make a considerable difference to the economy in her part of the country."
Afterwards, she said: "While the Government has committed to some improvements, I do not believe these are sufficient to address the long-term capacity problems. A34 congestion is creating economic barriers as well as daily misery for commuters."

This would take the pressure off all the local roads adjacent when there are problems caused by breakdowns and accidents.

It's happened time and time again - I bet when they built the underpass at Chievely they justified it by saying it would ease all the congestion.
The real answer to the problems of the A34 is to make it into a 3 lane motorway. This would take the pressure off all the local roads adjacent when there are problems caused by breakdowns and accidents. WE WANT AN M34.

How about OCC try something radical? Run a 6 month trial of disallowing ALL HGV movement on the stretch between the M4 and M40 junction between say 6am and 10am, then 4pm until 7pm, or perhaps continuing the no HGV overtake like at Ilsley, all the way up?

Erm, unless you want to live in a mud hut and survive on berries you have to recongise that virtually everything you consume has been delivered by lorry, much of it imported, and a lot of that via Southampton and hence up the A34. The long-distance lorries are here to stay I'm afraid, the road is clogged owing to the local commuting car traffic .

Lenny Kravitzmusician
Born: 5/26/1964
Birthplace: New York City
Lenny Kravitz's eclectic musical style seems to reflect his multicultural background. The son of interracial parents, Kravitz has combined funk, 1960s psychedelic rock, hip-hop, jazz, and R&B to produce his own unique style. Some have drawn comparisons between Kravitz and some of his influences, particularly Jimi Hendrix and John Lennon. He first gained notoriety in 1987 when he married then-Cosby Show co-star Lisa Bonet (the couple divorced in 1993). Two years later he released his first album, Let Love Rule, which was followed by Mama Said (1991), Are You Gonna Go My Way? (1993), and Circus (1995). In 1998, following the release of his fifth album, 5, Kravitz announced plans to found a record label in memory of his deceased mother, actress Roxie Roker.

Debate over whether goal-line technology should be introduced to the game is raging once again following the controversy at the Reebok Stadium last weekend.
Clint Hill headed home what looked to be a perfectly legitimate opener for QPR against Bolton only for the referee to rule it had not crossed the line.
Hill's would-be strike is one of many goal disputes that have occurred down the years - many of which are now being used to fuel the calls for bringing in technology.
With the use of a replay system looking like a real possibility in the future, Sky Sports picks out 10 examples of the recurring 'ghost goal' which could soon become a thing of the past.
Debate over disputed goals has been raging for decades, with the most famous example one that effectively determined the outcome of a World Cup final. Geoff Hurst's effort for England in the 1966 decider with Germany at Wembley arguably remains the ultimate goal-line controversy. After the Germans had equalised to send the game into extra-time at 2-2, Hurst fired a shot that smacked against the underside of the crossbar, rebounded down and bounced back out of the goalmouth. Swiss referee Gottfried Dienst consulted his linesman, Tofik Bakhramov, and the goal was given. The strike spurred the Three Lions to a 4-2 victory and their first, and only, major trophy.
Some 44 years after Hurst's disputed strike helped England lift the World Cup, the Germany fans were handed some consolation in the form of Frank Lampard's infamous 'goal that never was'. With the Germans leading the round of 16 tie 2-1, Lampard blasted the ball in from 20 yards with what appeared to be the equaliser as his shot hit the crossbar before bouncing over the line. The referee and linesmen disagreed, however, and failed to award the strike, prompting cries of outrage from the England camp. Anger turned to all-too-familiar despair in the second half as Fabio Capello's side collapsed and crashed out in a 4-1 defeat.
Lampard was involved in more goal-line controversy a year on from the World Cup but his 'goal' was far less clear cut. The linesman had an extremely difficult call to make when the Chelsea midfielder's shot was fumbled by error-prone Spurs goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes and the shot-stopper had to scramble to keep it out of the net. The officials allowed the strike to stand, despite replays showing the ball had not actually gone over the line, and the visitors left Stamford Bridge empty-handed after a 2-1 defeat.
Goalkeeper Roy Carroll somehow managed to get away with what should have been a calamitous spill at Old Trafford in 2005 when Spurs midfielder Pedro Mendes was denied a seemingly legitimate goal. The Portuguese belted a speculative 50-yard effort towards the United custodian which he somehow managed to toss backwards over his shoulder. The ball landed a good yard over the line before Carroll desperately clawed it out again but the match officials appeared none the wiser and play went on, much to Tottenham's incredulity.
Third division Chesterfield truly captured the magic of the FA Cup when they stormed to the semis in 1997 but John Duncan's men were controversially denied a last-four upset against Middlesbrough. The Spireites found themselves 2-1 ahead at Wembley and looked on course to continue their fairytale run when Howard's close-range strike crashed against the crossbar and quite clearly landed behind the goal-line. Referee David Elleray begged to differ and the goal was disallowed, with Boro clawing back for an eventual 3-3 draw before they thrashed the underdogs 3-0 in the replay at Hillsborough.
One of the most unfathomable disallowed goals recorded occurred north of the border back in 1993, when United frontman Connolly's volleyed effort smashed into the net and hammered against the goal support. The visitors accepted the goal without question, with a Thistle defender even picking up the ball in recognition it had been scored, but referee Les Mottram inexplicably waved to play on, letting the blatant handball slide in the process.
Plenty of goals have been disallowed despite clearly crossing the line, but it's much rarer one is given when there is no evidence of anyone having actually scored. That's exactly what happened in the Championship clash between Watford and Reading in 2008, when the Royals netted one of the most bizarre 'goals' in history. After an attacking spell from the visitors, referee Stuart Atwell and his assistant Nigel Bannister awarded Reading a goal despite the ball crossing the line three yards outside the post. None of the Royals players even appealed for a goal, which should have given the officials a hint, but the strike stood.
Palace frontman Allen was denied what should have been a celebrated goal against Coventry after curling in a wonderful free-kick for the visitors from long range. The powerful effort surged into the top corner and smashed against the right-hand stanchion before coming out again, leading officials to believe it must have hit the woodwork. A difficult one to spot due to the sheer speed of Allen's strike, but nevertheless a sore point for Eagles fans as the hosts won 3-1.
Crystal Palace were involved in further goal-line controversy more recently, with the goal support once again proving to be their nemesis. Freddie Sears, on loan at Selhurst Park from West Ham, thought he had opened the scoring against Bristol City in the 30th minute when he fired home from close range. Unfortunately for the striker, the ball ricocheted off the goal stanchion and back out into play, with referee Rob Shoebridge waving to play on after obviously assuming it had pinged off the post. City rubbed salt into the wound when they went on to clinch a 90th-minute winner.
The most recent disallowed strike to fuel the goal-line technology debate, other than Hill's effort for QPR, came in Italy in the showdown between title-chasers Milan and Juventus. The hosts were a goal ahead and looked on course for a decisive win when Muntari nodded a close-range header over the line. However, Juve goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon scrambled the ball back out and nothing was given. The Old Lady went on to clinch an equaliser and a crucial point in a match that could prove decisive to the Serie A title tussle.

Hi everyone,
Does anyone have any reading suggestions for "getting over" having a c-section? Whenever I see something about the high rate of c-sections and how bad they are, and how babies miss out on so many good things by not going through the birth canal, I feel an overwhelming sense of guilt. I know I tried as hard as I could and we did everything we could, and having my amazing doula in the room was the sure fire way to know that it couldn't have gone any other way.
